In The Shelter

In the shelter In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming I heard her crying out, "What is it all about? I just don't know, I can't go back home" Lonely princess All the days out on your own are growing empty Nothing is going well, if you could only tell them how you feel They're too real to understand Too many small suggestions Ended in forced repressions long ago Too many innocent faces And too many far out places, something's wrong Let me tell you that something's wrong It's been that way so long, and it's a shame On the street car to the city Where she knows that she may lose it all Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time And knowing well this could be her final fall Past the boutique To the alley down the river, people pass her by She sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks Not knowing what she will do next, just starts to cry Too many wild rejections, endin' in angry questions from her dad Too many T.V. dinners and everyone loves a winner, but she was lost No one knows the trials she had In the shelter In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming I heard her crying out, "What is it all about? I just don't know, but I can't go back home" Hell, I just don't know, but I can't go back home
